DRESS.
The White-HOuse rooms have been dressed in
| their winter costumes, and everything is now in
readiness for the return OF the President and Mrs
Cleveland. The carpets have all been laid cur
tains hung, the furniture covers removed and the
rooms thoroughly cleaned. Very little painting or
repairing has been done, as extensive Improve
ments In this respect were recently made. New
car pets have been laid In the East room and Blue
parlOr, and some OF the bedroom furniture has
been recovered. A new central sofa or divan for
thu center q the East room has been ordered by
Col. Wilson, and will be here in about month.
II will be upholstered in Old-gold plush to match
the other furniture OF the room. The exterior Of
the White House will not be painted, as this was
done only last year, and 1t Is only necessary about
once In four years. II Is probable, however that
the nre department will be requested soon to send
up an engine TO wash on the dust that has collected
on the front portico during the summer.
